*This is the approximate charging time for an empty battery charged under room temperature. The charging time will differ depending on the remaining power and battery condition. If the battery is charged in a low- temperature environment, the charging time will be longer.

Charging the battery using a USB connection

Turn on your computer and connect the USB cable to your computer (page 24). The battery indicator changes in the display and charging of the battery starts. It takes approximately 6 hours* to charge. When the player is connected to the AC power adaptor, the power is supplied from the AC power adaptor. However, the charging time gets longer.

If the computer enters the system suspend, sleep, or hibernation mode when the player is connected to the computer via the USB cable, without an AC power adaptor, the battery discharges without being charged.

*When the battery wears down, the charging time gets longer.

The battery charging indication appears on the screen only when you operate the player while charging. If the battery charging indication does not appear, charge the battery using the AC power adaptor.
